A second person has been charged in the May 30 shooting of an Oak Park man, police said Wednesday.

Eric Lamar Anderson, 18, of Harvey, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, home invasion, armed robbery and aggravated battery in the shooting of James F. Wilson, 50, of 911 N. Taylor Ave.

Police said Anderson is the brother of Erica J. Anderson, 21, of Chicago, who was charged with the same crimes Tuesday in connection with the shooting.

Both Andersons are being held in the Cook County Jail. Eric Anderson is being held without bail because he was on probation at the time of his arrest, Oak Park police said in a news release. Erica Anderson is being held in lieu of $750,000 bond. Both are due in court June 7.

Police say Wilson, who was found near his basement bleeding from gunshot wounds to his shoulder and jaw, remains in stable condition at the Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.

Police have not released details about what led up to the shooting, but have said Wilson knew the suspects.
